Just want to mention that Captain Greenskin has a slight niche over the doctor in that you dont need a minion on your opponent's end to upgrade your weapon. So if theres no minions, or if the only minion is big, then Doctor Krastinov would just be straight up worse than greenskin.
So normally I just use Fake GPS to 'attend' a fireside to open my packs early (for the same problem that would happen in the title. However, for some reason selecting a public Fireside event seems to be disabled on the website so I had to try to create my own unlisted event again, which to no surprise still results in the 404 error from previous years.
I see 2 main issues with this: 1) the deathrattle pool is quite large, so your average discover result is lower in power level when compared to another card you'd run in the deck instead of Carrion Studies and 2) playing this is awkward given how tempo driven Deathrattle Hunter has been historically; I'd imagine having a 1-drop instead of the study is better for the tempo strategy.
Reusable Captain Greenskin. Toss a Ancharrr, Livewire Lance or that bomb-on-a-stick thing and you got a deal. More Warrior then Rogue too me, but very nice still.
I think that if people care for cosmetics on the site they would care for quality discussion.. as one that commented on every card since.. GVG even in hearthpwn yeah sometimes you feel like commenting cause you want your opinion be heard and sometimes.. you just seem to repeat what everyone else said.
But in the end at least the threads are more lively than the days of RoS or even DoD before the tavern crawler format.
It will spark some discussion even if cards aren't that interesting some people might bring up interesting points..
there were some sleeper cards that you can see their discussion about their applications which were made mainstream much later.
Just making people at least post their thought even if it's one sentence is interesting really. and some people (like me) tend to read them anyway so it brings some interest to the forums.
Nowadays, it takes a legendary to do what Equality + Pyroguy used to do. To many cogs too clear a board, won't play nice why enrage buddies, Blizz didn't even bother to credit his first name in the card. Pass.
It seems that they are pushing a more slow meta. So if you manage to survive 6 turns, there are a lot of recruit big minions option. Let's wait and see what happens
New Neutral Minion - Intrepid Initiate
Small-Time Buccaneer feelings. People will break and abuse this in no time, mark my words.

Also greenskin's a pirate, so there's that too.
New Neutral Minion - Lorekeeper Polkelt
I love how they put a sorting algorithm in his flavor text. Maybe is the source code of hearthstone itself lol
New Neutral Minion - Headmaster Kel'Thuzad
Love the flavor text. On a lore side, he is an accomplished necromancer now, it's trivial for him to do it now
New Warrior Spell - In Formation!
In wild are 6 cards that can give you some taunt minions. Is a very good addition to Quest Warrior
New Shaman Weapon - Rune Dagger
I love the flavor text lol
New Demon Hunter & Warlock Spell - Felosophy
Zoo is always a thing, so will this.
New Demon Hunter & Hunter Minion - Blood Herald
Top deck it and cry. Even on curve is goddamn awful. Pass.
New Hunter Spell - Carrion Studies
And they said they wanted to slow down card generation. Riiiiiiiiiiiight...
New Priest Spell - Initiation
So the initiation on Cult of the Damned is killing something and then rising it. Good lore interpretation imho
Why does Fireside Gathering creation always result in 404 error for me?

What gives?
New Paladin & Warrior Weapon - Ceremonial Maul
Paladin looks way more capable at spellbursting this at a decent size. But this whole plan seems a little on the slow side all in all.
New Hunter Spell - Carrion Studies

New Rogue & Warrior Spell - Coerce
This one got the short stick on both class. Warrior have Execute at (1) less, Rogue never runs Assassinate. Loss-loss to me.
New Rogue & Warrior Spell - Cutting Class
Ugly for (5), decent at (3), amazing at (1) or (0). I say we will see this a lot next week forward.
New Paladin & Warrior Spell - Commencement
Put few really big, no-battlecry, beef, minions and try to cast this before you draw then. Been there, done that, never that good.
New Rogue & Warrior Minion - Doctor Krastinov
Reusable Captain Greenskin. Toss a Ancharrr, Livewire Lance or that bomb-on-a-stick thing and you got a deal. More Warrior then Rogue too me, but very nice still.
New Priest & Warlock Minion - Brittlebone Destroyer
Siphon Soul that leaves a body behind. Seems reasonable.

Hearthstone Hotfixes - Game Disconnects, Transfer Student, and Mr. Bigglesworth Battlegrounds Bugs
That's not a bug that's aggro players rage quitting.
New Paladin Minion - Argent Braggart
They must give paladin a very strong card in order to see more play in ladder
New Paladin Minion - Turalyon, the Tenured
Lore nerd mode on: What the f@#$ is doing Turalyon in Scholomance. He must be on the Vindicaar fighting the Burning Legion across the universe
New Rogue & Warrior Minion - Doctor Krastinov
Buffed Captain Greenskin
